Common Law Marriage

A proposal making its way through the state legislature would establish a common-law marriage between “one man” and “one woman.”Opponents of the bill (HB 233) say it would eliminate an age requirement, and in some instances, open the door for a coverup of child sex abuse.The bill’s sponsor, Tom Leatherwood (R-Arlington) said the law being considered would add a new marriage option for Tennesseans.
